   > they end up buying one for their kids too. I will inevitably do too. Yes, that sounds like inadequate parenting. The answer doesn't seem to be show-me-your-papers in order to access websites.

   Thanks. Hope you reconsider supporting digital ID and consider the consequences.

   I strongly oppose digital ID as it seems to enable CBDCs, social credit systems, and mass censorship. Already in production in China. Well beyond anything Orwell wrote about. Scary to see these apparent stepping stones to totalitarianism in

   You want to impose mandatory ID checks and end anonymous online activity to compensate for inadequate parenting?

   Ancient Europeans had the sulphur, just no rubber trees. Ancient Mesoamericans vulcanized rubber (e.g. to make the ōlli for Ollama) by extracting latex from the Panama rubber tree and mixing it with moonflower juice: https://ne

   Yeah, I shouldn't've linked to the National Post, someone forgot to check a history textbook before publishing that article, which isn't exactly a shocker. The original rainbow flag from Gilbert Baker had 8 symbolic colors.

    Increased deaths of people walking getting hit by cars says everything about the effectiveness of recent safety regulations. They clearly are not working and we need to take a new approach beyond more surveillance and beeping. This isn&#x

    We've added a bunch of that crap since 2009, when pedestrian fatalities were at their lowest, why hasn't it worked? It seems like the problem is vehicle size and distractions: why would more surveillance help?

    Let's improve driver's ed and impose more licensing restrictions. Seems like pretty wide variations in standards between States. Let's ban distracting billboards in more States, as in Maine, Vermont, Alaska, and Hawaii. Let&#

    But isn't this about LAION, an open source model? Looks like they're going after Stability, not OpenAI or Anthropic. Maybe this is more about stifling open source models.

    They've already lost most of their brand equity among technical and non-technical users. Their Gemini commercial feels like a death knell. They never had to advertise when their products were good.
